Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Upgraded from 13 to 13.1
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
udev was not installed. USB devices wouldn't work.
* What was the outcome of this action?
* What outcome did you expect instead?
*** End of the template - remove these template lines ***
I've updated Debian from 13.0 to 13.1
USB devices stopped working. I've tried figuring out what went wrong
only to find that the udev package was removed.
Trying to install it I get the following:
# apt install udev
Solving dependencies... Error!
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Unsatisfied dependencies:
udev : Depends: libsystemd-shared (= 257.8-1~deb13u2) but it is not installable
Error: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Error: The following information from --solver 3.0 may provide additional context:
Unable to satisfy dependencies. Reached two conflicting decisions:
1. udev:amd64=257.8-1~deb13u2 is selected for install
2. udev:amd64=257.8-1~deb13u2 Depends libsystemd-shared (= 257.8-1~deb13u2)
but none of the choices are installable:
- libsystemd-shared:amd64=257.8-1~deb13u2 is not selected for install
I've removed libsystemd-shared, to see if installing udev would bring
the missing dependency, but seems it won't work.
I'm not sure what else to do. Seems this is a repository problem.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Dario Susman
